How to and how much and why has this not been mentioned to CeGers before especially the ones who complain about problems with their m/a-tx.
I have an A-Pillar with an AutoTemp Trans Oil Temp gauge.
I observed the ATX Oil Temp go up to over 250 deg F
while I was driving on the highway, on LEVEL ground.
My dealer could only get the fluid temperature to go to 195 deg F.
Without a External Oil-To-Air cooler you CANNOT get the Oil Tempo LOWER than the Engine Coolant Temp.
In MOST cases the ATX Oil is actually ABSORBING heat from the radiator!
This additional heat is what kills the transmission.
My new ATX is going in with an external cooler now.
